Abstract

Embodiments of the present technology integrate seismic data and geological concepts into an earth model build. More specifically, the exemplary embodiments provide a new method of building an earth model based on seismic data and information in geological concepts for use as a background for interpreting the seismic data and/or adding to the earth model in areas where seismic data is missing (e.g., no data or no data resolvable). In some embodiments, a deterministic framework for the earth model is generated by deterministic identification of discrete geobodies. According to some embodiments, a hybrid deterministic-geostatistical earth model is generated by filling stratigraphic gaps in a deterministic framework with geostatistical information and/or seismic inversion.
